Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reprocessing materials containing precious metals especially from metallurgic primary concentrates in which the materials are subjected to an increased temperature in the sequence of an oxidized treatment, a reducing treatment and a chlorination by the application of gaseous treatment media. Gold and the platinum group metals remain as residual matter with the characteristic that the residual matter is subjected to oxidized acid leaching. The gold portion is chromatographically separated first from the liquid phase and the remaining liquid is then chromatographically fractionated into the individual platinum group metals, whereby the fractionation is carried out by means of relative movement between a particle bed in the form of a cylinder jacket and at least one output position for the liquid.

Title: Secure proxy signing device and method for use
Inventor: EPSTEIN MICHAEL
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 1998-10-19
Abstract: A secure proxy signing device for producing digital signatures of documents and supplying the digital signatures over an insecure network provides security measures against a phony document hash being presented by an impersonator of a user to the signing device for forming the digital signature on behalf of the user. In the user equipment there is formed a first data item I1 which is an encrypted hash of the document to be signed and a second data item I2 which is formed by hashing together the document hash (H0), a random number (RN) received from the signing device, and user identifying data (U) which is obtained from a physically present user. The first and second data items are received by the signing which decrypts the first data item to determine the document hash (H0), forms a derived second data item by hashing together the determined document hash (H0), stored last generated random number RN, and user identifying data (U), and comparing this derived data item with the received second data item I2. If the compared items are the same, the determined document hash is authenticated, and it is encrypted with the stored user's private key to form the digital signature (DS).

Abstract: The described method is used for generating a
security document by applying a security pattern to an
original image. The security pattern comprises a plurality
of points, wherein each of said points represents a
pattern value. Local averages are calculated from said
pattern values for at least some areas of the security
pattern. For at least some of the points of the security
pattern the color of the corresponding point of the
original image is replaced by a modified color. The modified
color is a function of the local average, the original
color and the corresponding pattern value. The method
provides good security against counterfeit because it is
difficult to implement using conventional image processing
applications. For a suitable choice of the color
transformation function, the resulting image can preserve
the local color tones of the original image.

Inventor: DOYEN DIDIER
IPC: G09G3/20
Filed: 1999-04-28
Abstract: With the new plasma display panel technology new kinds of
artefacts can occur in video pictures due to the principle
that brightness control is done with a modulation of small
lighting pulses in a number of periods called sub-fields.
These artefacts are commonly described as 'dynamic false
contour effect'. A technique called bit line repeat coding
has been developed for reducing the false contour effect.
According to this technique sub-field coding is done with
common (CSF) and normal sub-fields (SF) where for the common
sub-fields (CSF) identical entries in the sub-field code
words of two or more corresponding pixels on two or more
pixel lines are used. In this specific sub-field coding
method some cases will occur in which an error has to be
made due to the reduced flexibility in encoding produced by
the need to have the same code on common sub-fields (CSF).
The general idea of the invention is now to put the coding
failures on the higher video levels of the two or more pixels
being grouped together. 
     Further improvements concern picture content analysis and or
motion detection for controlling the switching between different
sub-field coding modes and a specific adapted dithering
pattern for use with bit line repeat coding.

Filed: 1999-02-26
Abstract: The present invention concerns a process and an apparatus for thermal conversion of biomass and organic wastes. According to the invention, the feedstock is fed into a fluidized-bed reactor, wherein the feed is converted at an elevated temperature under the influence of particulate matter kept in a fluidized state by a fluidizing gas, the particulate matter is transferred from the reactor to a regenerator for regeneration and then recirculated to the reactor after the regeneration, and the converted hydrocarbon products are recovered from the reactor. Both the reactor and the regenerator comprise risers having an axially annular cross section and being equipped with multi-inlet cyclones for the separation of particulate matter. By means of the invention, it is possible to producer pyrolysis oil, the quality of which is higher than that of oil produced with the processes of the prior art. The incorporation of multi-inlet cyclones into the reactor configuration reduces gas velocities, reduces the physical size of the cyclone and shortens the residence time of gases in the cyclone.
